This past week I had my singles for SMS^2.2. Monday I squatted, Tuesday was bench, Thursday was deadlift, and Friday was my circuit day. Despite pushing my circuits back to Sunday the week before, I still felt strong with my squats on Monday, hitting sets at 420. My deadlift was my other very strong lift this week, hitting sets at 435. I had plyos on Wednesday and Friday as well.
I started a new thing this past week where after each lift I had an SMF, a "Self Made Finish". Basically, it is some type of anaerobic conditioning exercise for about 5 to 10 minutes after the lift in complete on paper. This isn't something that's written in to the workout, but rather something that allows you to go above and beyond what has been prescribed so you can truly give that Self Made effort. My SMF for Monday was plate pushes, Tuesday I had battling ropes, and Thursday I had bike sprints. I didn't have an SMF for Friday because I did both plyos and the circuits together. I am considering making a boxing circuit my SMF for this day.
New training goals: I want to gain a minimum of 10 pounds, preferably 15, by the beginning of June. I have started eating more at each meal and adding in extra shakes and sandwiches throughout the day. By the end of July I want to hit a 475 squat and a 345 bench.
That's all for this past week. Now it's time to go live this one.
